Some ancient

Hammered Gold Rider. Seventh
coinage, pre accession - circulated at 100 shillings. Initial mark Quatrefoil,

Obverse: the king in armour with a sword, on a galloping horse, right;
reverse: crowned shield. SCBI 58, 1278ff; B4, fig.954, S.R.5458. Good provenance with a
great amount of tickets. Minor marks
to the left of the shield otherwise a nicely toned VF grade. We note the March 2026 Davisson's
auction example of similar date rarity achieved a hammer price of US $9,500
with associated add-ons. The coin on
offer here is of comparable grade and, unlike the Davisson
example, actually has its front legs prominently on view!
